Fruit-flavoured prescription-only nicotine vapes for adults wanting to move away from cigarettes should be made available, manufacturers have told senators, as they throw their support behind new legislation aimed at stamping out the black market.
Prescription nicotine vape suppliers say they back stronger laws in a bid to tackle organised crime but have asked for one “very concerning” proposed rule to be eased.
But he said the proposed limitations on flavours – restricting prescription nicotine vaping products vapes to just menthol and tobacco – were “concerning” and should be relaxed to help smokers make the transition from cigarettes to therapeutic vapes.“Most current users of therapeutic vapes now accessing simple fruit flavours will be significantly affected. Simple fruit flavours are not candy flavours. There’s a big difference,” Mr David said.
“We welcome the proposed legislation insofar as it aims to reduce the supply of NVPs by the black market and aims to streamline the supply of therapeutic MVP through the medical access framework,” David Burns from Bay Pharma said.Medical and health experts had earlier reluctantly agreed that prescription vapes played a role in helping Australians wanting to stop smoking cigarettes but warned they should not be the default.
